    And you just know that if somebody tried to sit him down and explain the purposes and goals of military aid to him, his attention would drift after about the fourth word, then he’d interrupt with, “Yeah but why are we paying? They should be paying us!”

    Oh… hey. It just struck me - maybe he thinks that if they pay, he’ll get a percentage…

      The purpose of “military aid” is to pay back the defense contractors in your district for campaign contributions, so yeah he probably does think he will (sorta) get a cut.
